Candy buffets and more!

By Melissa ~ January 25th, 2010 ~ Wedding Planning       4 Comments

While planning your wedding, you may want to incorporate a fun, interactive element for your reception.  Your guests will love the opportunity to feel like a kid again, and the display may be an additional design element as well – enhancing the look and theme of your wedding.  While candy buffets continue to be quite a rage (and why not?  Who isn’t mesmerized by a wide selection of sweets and treats?) I’m detecting a couple alternatives to that trend:

What dessert displays do you suggest for a fun addition to a wedding reception? candy

Cookie Buffets! Delightful!  Offering guests a variety of favorites will bring a smile to everyone’s face.  Place nearby a display of mini-milk cartons on ice so your guests can partake in the yumminess immediately.

Crunch & Munch: Not so much a sweets person?  Why not fill those swanky apothecary jars with salty treats: pretzels, potato chips, salted nuts, chex mix, etc.  Have decorative to-go bags or boxes nearby (and strategically place this display near the bar.)

Gourmet Popcorn: Who doesn’t love popcorn??!  Delight your guests with favorites as well as unique flavors: caramel, kettle, white chocolate cinnamon,  butter pecan..

S’mores: yes, the camping dessert gone gourmet.  Good luck keeping this buffet stocked!  When paired with a coffee station or shot glasses of cold milk, you’re guests will be fully fueled to dance the night away.
